In this tutorial I will be teaching you how to make your first simple windows application output. This is very basic and after completing this task I hope you will go on to looking at more tutorials and progressing further. If this tutorial is succesful I will add more tutorials onto this post such as creating loading screens, generating calculations etc.
What you need
Creating the program
1. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
We will be greeted by the open menu, we first want to click the top left option New Project-->Windows Form application --> OK
2. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
On our left we can see the tool box, we can click and drag items we want into our program onto the grey area. We will first start off with the button, click and drag that into the grey area.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The properties box should display in the bottom right corner, if not click on the windows tab then 'display properties box'. In this box we are able to change many option but the text of the button, the code name of the button is all we're after.
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] change the text to Enter, then click the slider scroll up to (name) call it btnEnter [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
3. Drag and drop 2 Text boxes from the toolbox. Using the same way we named the enter button change the name of the first text box to txtInput and the second as txtOutput
4. Now click the enter button to enter into developer mode.
